This is not going to help the relationship between Rodgers and Hodgson imo..
Hm. I'm curious as to whether Raheem would have said that. Surely a 19-year-old would be ready to play every game? Doubtful a player of any age would ask to sit out a qualifier either. Not bad for us, though. Glad Henderson, Sterling and Lallana came through the weekend unscathed.

I doubt he did; more like he was asked to by rodgers. It's not good having tension between our club and our country, especially when we have several regular international squad players.

Maybe Rodgers told Raheem to say that? Tbf on him he has looked knackered for Liverpool, he has started every single game bar Villa and played an extra 30 against Boro and hasn't been rested since. Rodgers didn't want to rest him for Liverpool games as we have no one else to come on for him that can provide the threat going forward so he probably wanted to use the international break as an opportunity for that. I won't be suprised if Hodgson decides to play Lallana, Hendo, Sturridge and Sterling for 90 minutes for the next international games as pay back though :P

He might admit he's not feeling 100% However very ****ty of Hodgson to make that public as far as I'm concerned.

Yea I'm sure Rodgers said something like "hey, you want to make sure you're fully fit and ready to face Real Madrid at Anfield - it's gonna be a hell of a game"
